Over the next few pages you will find information regarding the operational aspects of the Airborne Divisional Signals. This section will develop over time as information is collated and simplified for ease of reading.
The following poem was written by Captain H. Fairhurst, Airborne Divisional Signals and sounds fantastic when sung with great gusto! To the tune of "Eternal Father".
Eternal Father, King of Kings, Who made us fly and gave us wings, Oh, hook us up and check each strop And guard us all when 'ere we drop. And bid thy winds now cease to roar While we are standing in the door. Oh, teach thy boys in blue to pack And bid thine angels throttle back. Let's all look up to heav'n and see A well developed canopy. Oh, guard us from the tangled lines Preserve the contour of our spines. Then in our downward flight uplift And help us to assess our drift. From tree and water save us all And never let us backward fall, That we may safely land we pray And live to jump another day.
